It was a very long day waiting and like clock works UPS man showed up much later than usual! I opened the box like a little kid on Christmas and what a sight to behold! She is pretty!!!!!
I picked her up and she is light, comfortable and petite, just the way I like it! I was in love!
just like on a blind with a hot girl I was just over the moon at first but just like blind date things don’t always go exactly amazing as I get a bit more time to get to know her....especially when the expectation/hype is sky high! Impact was my first love after all.
So far what I LOVE:
- look great.....because it looks like my impact
- feels so nice in my hands.....because it’s exactly same as my impact but shorter
- light!
things aren’t quite up to MY expectation as an impact owner:
1. Loud......let me explain! Impact’s action/hammer is in right above the trigger, NOT next to my ear! I dry fired the gun at arm's length and it’s surprisingly quiet for how much power it has but then I bring her shooting position and pull the trigger...PING!!! Think I’ll need wear ear plug when I shoot.
2. Not as smooth: Impact is a smooth operator, she has been around for a while and she is just really refined. The cocking and firing action just feels so smooth. Again expectation was high!
3. When uncocked the free floating hammer would move around and sounds like I got a loose bolt in there and in some sense that’s exactly what I have. Not happy about that especially if you want to be stealthy and stalk some rabbits with great hearing. Simple fix is just cock the gun but I don’t like to do that plus the safety is all the way in the back.
I still haven’t shot a single pellet yet but as a spoiled impact owner I got a few gripes, all mostly details/minor but expectations are expectations, I have standards damn it!!!! Hahahahaha
if you are currently an impact owner you may or may not notice the things I gripe about. If you are a wildcat owner or Non-impact bullpup owner then you probably are already very used to my gripes because that’s pretty much all bullpups besides impact. I’ll keep her around for a while and see if I can over look things Im nick picking on. But I already started the wait for next gen impact compact.

The impact is my first love and the more I use it the more I love it, maybe the maverick will grow on me. BTW my Impact is extremely quiet also but it's not a very hot tune. 
part of it is my fault because I ordered .22 but changed my mind and asked Tony at Talon tunes to switch which he did but there must of been some sort of mix up and I ended up with a .22 anyways! Hahahaha
